Lorna and Phil keep current with the latest research in the fields of dyslexia, reading, writing, spelling,
math and executive function skills by taking courses, reading the available literature, and attending webinars and seminars.
What they learn is translated into directly helping their students and supporting their parents.
Lorna has a Bachelor of Education degree from Bath College of Higher Education in England, and holds a
Certificate of Professional Practice from Roehampton Institute in London: "Teaching Children with Reading and Writing Difficulties/Dyslexia."
Lorna has a unique perspective on this condition as she is dyslexic herself.
Phil has a Masters Degree in Engineering and brings twenty five years of experience as a consultant, team leader and homeschool
science teacher. His tutoring for dyslexic students is based on the Orton-Gillingham approach.
Jennifer has a Bachelor's Degree in Chemistry with five years of experience teaching STEM enrichment classes for Kaleidoscope Enrichment.
As a homeschooling mother of two children for the past ten years, one of whom has several learning challenges ranging from dyslexia to CAPD, she understands the struggles many children face when tackling math. Jennifer is an Orton-Gillingham Math Specialist who provides tutoring for children and teens struggling in math. She also provides conventional math tutoring through High School Algebra 1 & 2, and Geometry.
"Phil and Lorna Wooldridge, the co-owners of Wise Owl Services, are an amazing husband and wife duo with a true heart and passion for the
population with Dyslexia. It has been my privilege to get to know Phil and Lorna over the last year. Their zest for digging deep to bring us the most
current and up-to-date Dyslexia resources is appreciated by so many. Their beautiful spirits and tenacity to heed to their higher calling of meeting the
needs of those with learning differences, primarily Dyslexia, make this couple unique and inspiring. I am blessed our paths have crossed."

Lorna and Phil of Wise Owl Services provide tutoring for struggling students. They are very knowledgeable about the most effective, research-proven
educational methods and excel at creating programs that support the individual child's learning style. Since beginning tutoring here, my daughter has been motivated
to work hard and has made substantial progress. I highly recommend Wise Owl Services.
